#288 - Capture the Autumn Moon
The old demon began to re-examine Li Chengfeng, finding that he could see less and less of this young man.
He realized that if he wanted to plot against Li Chengfeng, he had to act cautiously, otherwise he might end up losing his life trying to outsmart him.
Therefore, he decided to temporarily abandon the idea of harming Li Chengfeng, and instead bide his time, waiting for Li Chengfeng to advance to the Tribulation stage before taking action.
After getting up, Li Chengfeng looked radiant, his face full of joy.
Because he knew that with this piece of Nine Profound Battle Iron, half of his plan to refine his Natal Magic Treasure was already complete.
When the Profound Iron matured and split into pieces, he could begin refining his Natal Magic Treasure.
Thinking of this, his heart was filled with anticipation and excitement. Looking at the entire Human Realm, probably only he could possess such precious materials to refine his Natal Magic Treasure.
Li Chengfeng spent seven days refining it, finally urging the Substitute Puppet to move the Life Realm space to Jinfeng City.
At this time, they were already in a prosperous city, located on the edge of the Heavenly Demon Sect's territory. Although it was far away from the Heavenly Demon Sect, it was still very lively, with millions of people living there.
The controller of this city was a city lord with profound cultivation, who controlled all the resources within the city, while the Treasure Pavilion still occupied a dominant position here.
Li Chengfeng came to this place, saw this scene, and the worries in his heart lessened slightly.
With a gentle wave of his hand, between the shifting of stars, Yu Yan was teleported over.
Yu Yan had been living on pins and needles these past few days, racking her brains to think about how to deceive the young master and trick him into giving Li Chengfeng the city lord's precious stones, in exchange for her freedom.
Li Chengfeng looked at Yu Yan with piercing eyes and said seriously: "Don't try to play tricks on me, I have already placed a restrictive spell on you.
As long as you dare to betray me, the restrictive spell will be activated, and you will die without a burial place, like an exploding firework, leaving not even a trace of your soul."
Yu Yan listened, respectfully kneeling on the ground, and said: "Master, please rest assured, I will definitely do my duty and complete the task.
I have already come up with many clever plans, and I have already rejected those that are not reliable myself."
"Tell me about them," Li Chengfeng nodded, signaling Yu Yan to continue.
Yu Yan said: "I'll just tell the master the important ones. I want to take the master to sell strange stones as a casual cultivator who loves strange stones, and at the same time purchase some items.
This way, going there in the form of doing business, the master can talk to the city lord, observe his strange stones and mark them.
Then, I secretly contact the young master, use a beauty trap, and secretly let him steal these strange stones and offer them to me, and then I will give them to the master. Isn't this arrangement perfect?"
Li Chengfeng's thoughts flickered, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "This method seems simple, but it also has a chance of success. However, I need a suitable identity."
Yu Yan racked her brains for a long time and said: "Why not just use the identity of a casual cultivator who loves strange stones? This way, it won't arouse suspicion, and it will also give us more freedom of action."
Li Chengfeng looked at Yu Yan and seriously pointed out the loopholes in her plan: "Your way of doing things is full of loopholes. The entire Tianluo Bazaar was destroyed, but you, as an auctioneer, are safe and sound, but you didn't return to Tianluo Bazaar,
Instead, you chose to do business with a casual cultivator. How do you explain this? You need to find a backer and use his power to gain a foothold in Tianluo Bazaar. Otherwise, will Tianluo Bazaar let you, the auctioneer, go?"
Yu Yan listened, cold sweat streaming down her face. She really hadn't thought of this, she just wanted to deceive the young city lord as soon as possible, but she ignored this important link.
Li Chengfeng smiled calmly and said: "I had already thought of this. We will go with you to buy strange stones in the identity of Qiu Fengyue.
After all, Qiu Fengyue didn't buy any stones, and now is the time he needs to buy stones.
Moreover, you are relying on him as a big tree, with the Wind Cloud Sect as your backer, so you are not afraid of the Tianluo Bazaar's revenge. This is reasonable."
Yu Yan listened and nodded repeatedly, saying: "Master is still more thoughtful. I was confused for a while, just thinking about completing the task quickly, but I ignored this important point."
She hesitated for a moment and then asked: "But master, if Qiu Fengyue appears in other places, or happens to appear in Great City, then wouldn't we be exposing ourselves?"
Li Chengfeng looked at Yu Yan and said calmly: "I had already thought of this matter. That Qiu Fengyue is arrogant and conceited, seriously injured, and still led a few wastes to chase and kill me, it's really not enough to die.
If it weren't for relying on the name of the Azure Cloud Sect to protect him, he would have died a hundred times over.
It's a pity that I'm not interested in the Azure Cloud Sect, otherwise, if I didn't still need something from the Azure Cloud Sect, do you think he could still be alive?"
As he spoke, Li Chengfeng cast a magic formula, and with a buzzing sound, a vortex appeared.
Li Chengfeng's Substitute Puppet was seen carrying the unconscious Qiu Fengyue into the Life Realm space like a dead dog and throwing him on the ground.
At this time, there were still five Foundation Establishment stage followers tied to the rope behind, each of them trembling with fear.
Li Chengfeng said to Yu Yan: "Did you see that? This is Qiu Fengyue and his followers.
They are now in my hands, and I can control their life and death at any time.
As long as we act carefully and don't let them appear in Jinfeng City, there will be no problem."
Yu Yan watched this scene, and the worries in her heart suddenly disappeared, and her admiration for Li Chengfeng arose spontaneously.
In fear, Yu Yan felt Li Chengfeng's unfathomable depth. His every step seemed to be carefully planned, as if everything was under his control.
She never dreamed that Li Chengfeng would send someone to capture Qiu Fengyue back, although this was not for the current action.
At that time, Li Chengfeng captured Qiu Fengyue not for this strange stone transaction, but just to use her to threaten Ye Bitong.
However, he always felt that such a plan was not stable enough. To be foolproof, he had to be comprehensive.
Although he had Ye Biyan and her son in his hands, he always felt that something was missing.
Now that Qiu Fengyue and Hua Zixuan had fallen into his hands, Yu Yan felt that the chances of winning had greatly increased. Even in the face of the worst situation, he was prepared to destroy the flowers.
He was not a saint, and he would not have any compassion for the obstacles blocking his path to growth.
This time, he cleverly used Qiu Fengyue's identity, because Qiu Fengyue had fallen into his hands, and even her five thugs were all captured.
The outside world naturally thought that he was Qiu Fengyue, which undoubtedly added a layer of protection to his actions.
Li Chengfeng nodded, signaling the action to begin.
He glanced at the midday sun outside and decided to set off immediately, because time waits for no one.
Li Chengfeng took a deep breath, and his aura suddenly became exactly the same as Qiu Fengyue's, and even his face changed.
The peculiarity of Li Chengfeng's technique not only changed his appearance, but also changed his aura. If it weren't for someone close to him, it would be difficult to detect.
Yu Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, tidied up her appearance, and said respectfully: "Young master, let's go."
Li Chengfeng waved his hand, a vortex appeared, and they came to Great City, heading straight for the City Lord's Mansion.
At this time, Great City was very lively, and notices were posted everywhere, posted by Tianluo Bazaar at a high price, offering a reward of 100,000 high-grade spirit stones to capture Li Chengfeng.
The notice described Li Chengfeng's numerous crimes, including emptying the entire treasure house of Tianluo Bazaar and razing it to the ground, with the same methods as the Feng Clan.
This made the people of the entire Great City eager to try and capture Li Chengfeng, but how could Li Chengfeng be so easily captured?
The facts were in front of them, those who tried to capture Li Chengfeng either died or were injured, and there were even more who returned empty-handed.
Li Chengfeng seemed to have evaporated from the world, appearing in Tianluo Bazaar for a moment and then disappearing without a trace, truly a dragon that sees its head but not its tail.
